Hey Loren, please answer this for me as i am a bit confused right now. The permalinks structure that you gave right now is /%postname%/%postid% as this is what you are using on this fantastic blog. And also it comes close to description to the guidelines given by google if you want it to be indexed by Google news. However i have just came across an article on permalinks which says,

“For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields. The reason is that these are text fields, and using them at the beginning of your permalink structure it takes more time for WordPress to distinguish your Post URLs from Page URLs (which always use the text “page slug” as the URL), and to compensate, WordPress stores a lot of extra information in its database (so much that sites with lots of Pages have experienced difficulties).”

So now i am feeling a little confused as to which url shall i use right now? Please throw some light on this as it would mean a lot to me. Thanks.

Thank you this post. I installed the plug-in successfully and changed the permanlinks to /%postname%/ and everything works fine.

I have one wordpress blog with multiple authors (50+), so having a unique id number in the URL is crucial for me but I also wanted the benifit of SEO keywords in the URL and also retain some website siloing (aka category structure)

I came up with this
/%category%/%postname%-%post_id%

Notive the -postID rather than /postID
This stops it looking like 4556 is a page under “seo friendly url structure”
searchenginejournal.com/seo-friendly-url-structure/4556

Instead I would get this
searchenginejournal.com/wordpress/seo-friendly-url-structure-4556

Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions, I was worried about changing it and almost did with the redirect plugin. Glad I cam across this or I would have had some duplicated articles, thanks agin.
